The following letter from the

sary to say that Scholls always
makes good with its Grange fairf
"Not in spite of, but because
of, these strenuous war times,
Scholls Grange has decided to
put on her usual community fair
Oct. 19 and 20 to prove to the
reBt of the county that this little
corner has been doing its bit.
Most of the crops have not been
up to standard this season, but
there is enough to make a good
showing, and the Grange hopes
that every farmer in the com
munity will take it upon himself
to boost lor his home section by
bringing in an exhibit of some
kind. Grains in half sack lots.
grasses, vegetables, canned prod
ucts, fruits, needlewor. livestock
and poultry will all find a wel
come in our exhibit buildings, on
the same site where the fair was
held last year.
The wonderful growth of our
fairs in the past has definitely
determined that the crowd of
visitors has reached such propor
tions that it is absolutely impos
sible for the ladies-of the Grange
to serve the big dinners which
they have always done. We
realize this will be a disappoint
ment to many, as Scholls is far
famed for her sumptuous fare,
t here will be a lunch counter on
the grounds, where sandwiches
and coffee will be served.
